Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden Of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added TO increase he
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines In the world. The advsn-
tage Of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, In every town and viii
lage in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for l0cents remain the same size.

His mother scarce could manage him.
His eyes were blue,
And looked You through
And seemed to say.
"I'll have my wayp'
His age was six,
His saucy tricks
But made you smile,
Though all the while,
You said, You limb,
You wicked Jim,
Be quiet, dol"
Poor little Jiml
Our eyes are dim
When soft and low we speak OF him.
No clatt'ring shoe
Goes running through
The silent room,
Now wrapped in gloom.
So still he lies,
With iast-shut eyes,
No need to say,
Alasl to-day,
"You little limb,
You baby Jim,
BE quiet, dol"

Geo. R. Vending will deliver his
great lecture on Stonewall Jackson
at Opera hall, Monday evening Nov.
IL. One Of the most competent and
scholarly critics in the country, who
recently read this lecture says: "Even
without Weddings presence and
charm of his voice and his superb de
livery, his "Stonewall Jackson" in
cold type is grand letcure. II is a
splendid tribute from a loyal north
erner to the personal character and
military genius of confederate SOL
dier. His description of Manassas,
his eulogy of Jackson, and his tribute
to Grant, are full of the beauty and
strength of the very highest oratory."
Last season 1880 81 this lecture was
received in many cities, North and
South alike, with unbounded favor.
An audience Of three thousand PEG
pie, in fremont Temple in Boston,
greeted it with repeated applause;
and in Nashville, Tenn, the largest
audience seen at lecture there for
many years was enthusiastic beyond
description.
